Despite risks and tensions, the special envoy iterated that no preconditions will be set and that given the situations and taking into account past setbacks, the time has come to produce results.
"This is not Geneva 3; this is leading to what we hope will be a Geneva success story if we are able to push it forward," he noted.
The first stages of the talks are expected to last between two to three weeks and the entire talks over six months.
